My opinion is that the "big fish" will continue to lose market power as cryptocurrency adoption grows. When more people learn about and start trading bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, the centralization of trading to those big fish will end. This is good for us average Joes because the market will be less prone to manipulation. It will become more stable and more companies will use it and its value will increase further.

I've been using those without problem for my Vega56s and 1080tis. I use them because, as you are experiencing yourself, they use double the amount of PCIE cables and regular PSUs simply don't have enough cables.

I've been running my mining rigs with these for more than 6 months now.

Given that you mentioned you aren't looking for generic guides and you basically have your rig setup all setup already. You must be looking for advanced features. Consider reading articles about scripting. You could write scripts to monitor your entire rig and automatically calibrate overclock settings depending on temperature or other factors.

Scripts are especially useful if you have AMD VEGA GPUs which are known for instability.

I would disagree with the original post article. Numerous studies have shown that a mix of determination and grit have a huge impact on a person's success. The case where intelligent people aren't rich is probably because those people don't make it a goal to have money or become rich. Some extremely intelligent academics pursue things that are valuable to them and in some cases this means devoting their life to research.

Intelligent people who want to become rich, will become rich.

Are you looking for specific information on this ASIC?

There is no L3++ and there is only the L3+. You can easily find the specs and other information directly from the bitmain website: bitmain.com
There is also a lot of dicussion on the L3+ here in the forums. Please just use the search bar.

I believe most of the posts here are saying that cryptocurrencies will soon explode and "moon." My more conservative opinion though would be that the market will continue in an uptrend but won't be far from where we are today. I would be happier if the value of bitcoin and other altcoins, like Ethereum, rises slowly because i feel that gradual increases in value are healthier and are more resistant to shocks and crashes.

Congratulations on making the big move to crypto.

I wouldn't say it's too late to learn. The way you are mining is far from optimal and there is a lot more you can do to maximize your profits. Like what others have posted on this thread, try and move away from NiceHash. Directly mining coins is more profitable. You just need to find the right coins and make sure you have the most optimal overclock settings.

I envy you and wish i did the same a few months back but instead i invested in a smaller amount of GPUs. I made 100% ROI just this week and it would have been a larger amount had i invested more. Look on the brighter side, in a few months time you will be rollin' in it. Good luck.

Switched over from CastXMR to SRBminer today and i love how it's more stable and it has a lower dev fee. Great job overall on the simplified console output as well.

However, my mining hashrates for my Vega56s are hovering around 1750-1800 compared to 1800-1850 when i was using CastXMR. I already have intensity set to 100 and dual thread turned on. Any tips on how to increase hashrate further?

EDIT: Found a problem with the auto restart on startup function: it disables/enables ALL GPUs in the system. I was hoping it would only restart the GPUs i specified in the config. It ended up restarting my other GPUs which were mining ETH.

Wow this is great news. A 20% referral program can be really profitable when you really think about it. Imagine you refer someone who trades more than 10 btc daily. Assuming that the trading fee is 0.015% then that means you get 20% of that which results to 0.003 BTC per day. It's like you have a 2pcs of S9 Antminers mining bitcoin for you.

Looks promising for Telluria.

We used to live in a part of a city where only "satellite" based internet connection was available. I was in college back then and wanted to play online games, sadly, i couldn't because the internet connection was unstable and i would very often get disconnected in the middle of games.

That being said, satellite should be fine for mining since mining isn't internet bandwidth or speed intensive.

This is probably why nobody has built an auto-switching tool based on difficulty alone.

To the OP, is there any specific reason you'd like to share with us as to why you think a difficulty-based coin/algo switcher would be better? I can imagine this could easily be implemented but still isn't done today for reasons listed by the quoted post above mine.

Maybe try disconnecting 2/3 GPUs and try to see if it will mine with a single GPU? It could be a GPU hardware problem. Are the risers/connections/ good and is the power supply sufficient?

Other things i would consider doing:
1. Turn off antivirus.
2. Try mining a different algo using a different miner.

Their competitors would probably the established exchanges like Binance, Bittrex, Poloniex, or even Kucoin. I can imagine it may be tough when Telluria first comes out because it's new and not much know about it yet so trading volume may be low. But eventually, once people start using this exchange they may realize how much better it is. I am confident that the Telluria team will do a good job and manage this well.

Although most people have already affirmed that Ethereum can defiintely reach $900 or more by End-of-Year, i'd also like to chime in and show my support for Ethereum. I also believe it will definitely rise more in value despite already being up from $300 to $700 from 1 month ago as of writing.

Why? As a developer i've been exposed to how easy it is to actually develop decentralized applications on the Ethereum blockchain and can see it's potential in changing the world. I'm no financial guru but seeing that it can do a hell of a lot more than bitcoin, it deserves much more than what it is valued at today.

You will have to give us more information for us to help you. Some guide questions listed below should help:

1. Are you sure that you did overclock them correctly? Seems like they are at default clock settings.
2. Did you install the soft power play tables? This is a must for maximum profitability too
3. What driver version are you using?

Do you have afterburner turned on? From what i've read on the ETHlargment thread, you have to turn off any and all overclocking software before running the miner. Basically the steps are as follows:

1. start ethlargment
2. start miner
3. start afterburner (or other overclocking software)

The chances may actually higher than you think. I believe time between merit isn't such a good indicator of abuse because legitimate people/accounts tend to give and return merits as a means of saying "thank you."

I understand it's not designed to work this way but some people will use the following logic:
gee thanks for the merit buddy, here let me return the favor and merit one of your posts as well.

You again with these type of questions eh? If it wasn't so obvious that you're trying to just increase your post count then people would probably accept you in the bounties you apply for. I suggest you learn more about the English language and how to think critically.

Anyway the answer to your question is clearly posted on the first page of this topic:

8 GB of RAM is enough. I am in fact running the same 12-GPU rig of 1070s as yours using only 4 GB of RAM.

My suggestion to you is as follows:

1. Reset your overclock settings. You might be overclocking one or two GPUs in the 2nd row beyond their capacity. Not all GPUs are created equal.
2. Find and isolate the problematic GPU. Try to start adding GPU's from your 2nd row one by one and start mining. See which GPU causes it to fail.
3. Try running multiple instances of your miner. Copy paste your batch file and run 6 GPUs on the first mining instance then do the same with the remaining.

Your questions are pretty basic and they can all be answered simply by using google.

If you want "substantial discussion" then you should probably started by learning more about the ASIC then provide your opinion here. To help you get things started, my opinion is that the ETH ASIC is no longer worth it right now because of all the new risks associated with ETH mining; incoming switch POS, increasing difficulty, and in our country increasing electricity costs.

FYI, nobody is using it right now because it ships in July 2018.
